shooting multiple shots in a row on the 950 is not a disappointing experience

It is not just another iPhone looking device that happens to run Android
often cast a blueish or yellowy tint to scenes

apps lack features found in their Android and iOS counterparts
hasn t been a way to protect against RSV
disappointingly uninspired
the Android version has already hit a snag
wobbly unreliability of Bluetooth peripherals
creaky back cover has somehow stopped creaking
the Windows APP store is ridiculously anemic
The speakerphone also sounds a bit thin
it is not used to refer to the central argument
Windows 10 mobile is not the same as desktop version
you cannot download Firefox or Chrome
shocking orange plastic - their camera performance
only getting a few minutes of exposure each
the results are something of a mixed bag
a dedicated camera button
Lumia sales are dismal
it has no traditional home screen with different widgets and icons
that tiny power button on the right side
no double-tap-to-wake function
bring a whole lot of new goodies to Windows 10 Mobile
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
the wide application support is still lacking
configuration is weaker than that of its rivals
store still does not provide many benchmarks for cross-platform comparisons
hot-plugging is not supported
There are no official Google Apps on Windows 10 Mobile
apps run only in full screen - windowed mode is not supported
the polycarbonate plastic case is somewhat lacklustre
means pulling down the task bar often takes two or three swipes
slightly underwhelming looks do play second fiddle to the functionality
Sadly Windows 10 is rather buggy
Windows Phone users will recognise the camera layout as it is largely unchanged
which is not and will likely never be available for Windows Mobile
Metal and glass phones are uncomfortable to hold and quite cold
Skype is still not a great experience on Windows 10 Mobile
No Glance Peak and no double tap to wake
the Windows Mobile platform lacks Apps
lack of such basic features as built-in panorama
No Audible app and a crappy camera
it just looks and feels cheap
hasn't lost the core of the experience
slow to focus at times
creating apps for the platform nobody uses
you can only choose from three sizes
simply grayed-out on the big screen
the Web browser was painfully slow
there s no escaping the lack of apps
a lacklustre design and the relatively few apps available
uninspiring design
the lack of apps
Spots The Lumia 950 s Achilles Heel
some apps are also not yet supported
involve OS issues with Windows Phone 8 that have remain unfixed
Some OS issues with Windows Phone 8 remain unfixed
Microsoft display dock to a monitor
any more than a couple of weeks old is simply outdated

A bland plastic design and minor updates to Windows keeps this Lumia from reaching its full potential. That and a talked-up breakout feature that ultimately falls flat.
